The Role of CSFP in Glaucoma: A View in Retrospect

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Intraocular and Intracranial Pressure Gradient in Glaucoma

Part of the book series: Advances in Visual Science and Eye Diseases ((AVSED,volume 1))

Abstract

Glaucoma is well-recognized as a pressure-related disease. Intraocular pressure has been known as a major contributor to glaucomatous pathogenesis for over a century. Blood pressure and glaucoma have been investigated closely over several decades. More recent studies have reignited an interest in cerebrospinal fluid pressure as an important contributor.
